A LESSON WITH A MORAL.
when win Our Eyes be Opened to
this Great National CaIomityl


The year 1886 played sad havoc with
many prominent men Of our country,
Many OF them died without warning
passing away opparently in the full 1usi
OF life.
Others were sick but comparatively
short tine. We turn TO our FLEA aud are
astonished tn find that most oil them die,;
of apolexy, oil paralysis, Of nervous pios-
tratiUn, Of malignant blood humor, Of
Brlghts disease, Of heart diseaye, Of kid

1t IL singular that most Of our prom
incnt men die vi these disorders. Any
journalist who watches the telegraph re-
ports will I've sslonish0d at the number oi
prominent victims Of these disorders.

Of the fatal effects.

The annual report for 1886 of the

established in 1858, is at hand. The
management pronounce the year as
fruitful in good results that the atten-
tion of the benevolent and philanthropic
everywhere seems to be specially d.
rected to homeless and dependent chill
dren and the best methods of providing
for them; that while orphan asylums
are indispensable and should be well sus.
tained, they are an imperfect substitute
for home, more especially as the mum.
bers increase, as, if the training of the
child is to be thorough and lasting it
needs to be done individually rather
than collectively; that the family is the
primeval institution of the race. and
love OF the parent and foster parent is he
strongest of motives for the proper care
and training of the child. The asylum
has Its peculiar work in preparing these
neglected and homeless to enter the
home circle, holding up the brightest
prospects to cheerless life, inspiring
desire to have.:w faith, the priceless
boon-a home. The whole number
cared Tor during the year in this asylum
was 2O7, OF which number 90 were
present at the commencement and 1856
admitted during the year. or the 2O7,

bogus QUARTZ

The Joke about the green miner who
found 'brass mine" is quite an old one;
but it is DO joke for man to buy gold
property and then find it is "brass
mine" in reality. An instance has Just
come to light in this city which shows
rather new feature in mining swindles
l. isa caae where the sslters not only
prepared the metal, but also prepared
the rock in which the metal was placed.
The samples which we saw were
bogus quartz" carrying brass-just
plain, simple brass. These "ore"
samples came from another State to
San Francisco merchant, to whom they
were sent by friend who wisely wanted
information from California assayer.
They were taken to metallurgist, in
this city, for examination. The latter
gentleman determined that the alleged
gold was nothing but brass. The bogus
quartz appears to have been made from a
kaolinized rock that is easily crushed,
and while in tho plastic state was salted
with particles Of brass like little nuggets
OF FREQ gold. 1t was afterward dried and
broken in pieces 1t falls to mud when
wet. These specimens were clearly de-
signed to take in unsuspecting investors.
The supposed ore is white in appear.
ance and shows no signs Of gold or other
metal on the surface. When broken and
pulyerized in mortar, and horned or
panned out, the little nuggets Of brass
remain, aud have the appearance Of gold.
1t is rather a new scheme to make both
the rock and the gold. and is quite an
artistic style Of sailing.
When soaked in water the specimens
fall to pieces and disclose the method Of
fabrication. The brass chips, on close
examination, show quite plainly the
tool.msrks by which they were made.
The specimens are well calculated to dc.
ceive persons not familiar with the sub.
iect.
1t may be mentioned incidentally in
this connection, that what is known as
California quartz jewelry, so common in
this market and SO much admired by
visitors here, is by no means oil it is
represented to be. Good quartz for the
